PBPG votes to restrict short term rentals

PB gardeners looking for someplace to grow

By MANNY LOPEZ

Community garden property to be sold

It was standing room only as the Pacific Beach Planning Group (PBPG) voted to restrict short-term vacation rentals during a special meeting on March 3 at the Pacific Beach Taylor Library. The PBPG is a voluntary group created to make recommendations to the City Council, Planning Commission, city staff and other governmental agencies on land use matters. Short-term vacation rentals are single-family residential dwellings rented out for periods of less than 30 days. “We’re at a tipping point, and this is going to change what happens in Pacific Beach,” said PBPG member Larry Emlaw. “It's going to drive out families and children and it's going to

By DAVE SCHWAB Wanted: Vacant space for a community garden. Location: Anywhere suitable in Pacific Beach. About to lose the Pacific Beach Community Garden (PBCG), which has existed for nearly 38 years at Roosevelt Avenue and Shasta Street, community activists searching for new urban gardening sites say they won’t be too picky. Gardening enthusiast Paula Ferracco noted there isn’t an overabundance of prospective locales from which to choose. “PB is rather unique, not too much open space, and what space there is isn't ‘free,’ ” said Ferracco. “I have nothing definite, but a few ‘maybes,’” The land for the PBCG is owned by The Arc of San Diego, which provides services

Top 10 big issues for Mission Beach Each year, the Mission Beach Town Council solicits the most important issues for the community during its annual membership drive. This year, a wide range of issues were identified. 1.) Trash and fly mitigation issues (second trash pickup during summer months); 2.) Underground utilities (continue to monitor and press to stay on a schedule); 3.) Identify and attempt to implement repairs for potholes on sidewalks and streets; 4.) Identify and work with city engineers to repair and replace the seawall; 5.) Push for finalization of Belmont Park lease issues; 6.) Identify ways to mitigate illegal noise; 7.) Identify additional signage and ways to increase dog compliance to city rules; 8.) Identify ways to beautify the Mission Boulevard median that comply with emergency vehicle requirements; 9.) Raise awareness of MB school development issues in the community; and 10.) Identify ways to enhance Mission Beach beautification.

“You can help us by going to missionbeachtc.org, where you can then vote for the issues that have the greatest impact on you,”said Gary Wonacott, vice president of MBTC.

But changing financial circumstances have forced ARC to take its property back and sell it. “Currently, The Arc of San Diego is conducting confidential negotiations with a prospective buyer, and at this time we do not have additional details regarding timeline for vacating the property,” said ARC spokesperson Jennifer SEE GARDEN, Page 12

Taco Surf celebrates feeding Pacific Beach for 25 years By DAVE SCHWAB Lead singer Kiley Halpern (left) and the rest of the band KI have fun filming the music video for their song ‘By The Sea’ on a pirate ship while sailing around Cabrillo Point. PHOTO BY JOHN COCOZZA

From Sunset Cliffs to Windansea beach Local band’s video shows off coastal communities About two months, ago local photographer John Cocozza met the San Diego band KI at a full moon bonfire in Mission Beach and was immediately impressed. Cocozza was even more amazed when he heard their song "By The Sea." “When I initially heard the song, it brought to me visions of the fun activities we do here in San Diego and specifically the La Jolla to Sunset Cliffs area, no matter what the age of residents,” Cocozza said. “We are a community of people who love surfing, stand-up paddleboarding, swimming in the ocean and hanging with friends at the beach.” That led to an idea for a music video that would capture San Diego’s coastal communities. Cocozza pitched his vision of a video for the song to the band (and

But it’s all been worth it, the couple said. And their children may someday inherit the business. “We’ve outlived everybody within visual range now,” said Sam of his eatery at 4657 Mission Blvd. across the street from Duck Dive (formerly Hennessey’s). “More than visual range,” Cindy chimed in, adding, “I can’t think of anything (else) that’s still here.” Asked the secret of their longevity, the Mclartys were quick to reply. “Our involvement in the community, and the fact that

It’s s definitely something we never planned on. But we have cultivated it.” Her spouse concurred. “It’s the ocean,” agreed Sam, a lifetime surfer who has nearly 200 surfboards in his collection at work and home. “Surfing is iconic, soulful, San Diego soul.” Surfing is not only part of their restaurant’s name; it’s SEE TACO, Page 7

Owls well when neighbors discuss Canary Island pines Communication saves trees, owls By DAVE SCHWAB A recent incident involving displaced barn owls, huge pine trees threatened with removal and Pacific Beach neighbors concerned for the health of wildlife and their environment apparently turns out to have had a happy ending. Message lines on Nextdoor.com were lighting up recently with backand-forth discussions by neighbors about a local property owner’s plans to cut down three Canary Island pine trees on Felspar Street. Those trees, it turns out, harbored a nest of protected owls, who had previously relocated from a nearby trimmed palm tree. “They’re beautiful trees, healthy; there was no reason to take them down,” contended neighbor Judy Swanick, who noted the owl’s nest found in one of the trees changed the situation entirely. So Swanick got busy on Nextdoor.com asking neighbors for advice on what government agency to contact to alert them about threatened protected wildlife. “People were kind enough to send names and agencies,” she said, adding the appropriate agency turned out to be the California

BARN OWLS Ghostly pale and strictly nocturnal, barn owls are silent predators of the night world.

Despite a worldwide distribution, barn owls are declining in parts of their range due to habitat loss.

Department of Birds and Wildlife, which intervened to halt the pine trees’ removal. Swanick said this was a “beautiful example” of neighbors banding together to accomplish something they couldn’t have done separately. The arborist who trimmed — but did not cut down — the Felspar Street Canary Island pines talked about the task their company had been charged with. “The man who owns the property on which the trees stand was concerned about the liability created by

the trees' roots appearing to lift the sidewalk and push over the neighbor's fence, causing it to lean to one side, and their pinecones falling and landing on a person's head or car,” said Kim Morlan, who, along with husband John, operates Morlans' arboricultural consulting, which was engaged by property owner James Tam to remove the pines. Noting that they “really don't like removals because historically we have been able to find other solutions,” Kim Morlan said this case was no exception.

“After doing a bit of digging, we discovered the root in question wasn't from a pine tree at all but rather appeared to belong to a Ficus tree, known for having large roots, which often displace hardscape,” she said. Morlan added subsequent inspection of Google Earth Pro images revealed remnants of a Ficus tree that used to be in the neighbor's front yard. “This root ran alongside the fence, between the trunk of one of the pines and the fence,” Morlan said. “We had to remove it because it

would continue to displace the fence as the pine tree's trunk diameter would enlarge, pushing the root into the fence.” Morlan said, after the offending root was removed, a material known as BioBarrier was used along the fence to “prevent any further complications.” Tam said he hired the tree trimmers because tree roots “had pushed the retaining wall to (his) neighbor’s property.” I did not do anything to affect nature,” Tam said, adding the problem existed before he bought the property. “That’s nature. I can’t do anything about that. Nobody said anything to me about a bird nest up there.” Swanick said the story does in fact have a happy ending because “Both renters and homeowners joined in discussion adding small bits of info that, put together, made it possible to cut through multiple government agencies and related bureaucratic delays so that before 24 hours had passed these trees that were scheduled to be cut down completely remained standing. “I see this as a potential motivational story to get individuals to meet with their neighbors through sharing their concern for well-being of both trees and wildlife,” Swanick said.

• Full Service Assisted Living and Care Home Communities • Respite/Short Term Stays at Resonable Rates

By KEITH ANTIGIOVANNI District 2 Councilwoman Lori Zapf recently requested $300,000 in funding for fiscal year 2015-16 from Mayor Kevin Faulconer’s office in order to fund a study of what to do with the De Anza Cove mobile home site once it becomes unoccupied in 2016. According to Alex Bell, communications director for Zapf, the budget meeting will be held in May, and if the funds are approved then, they will be available in July. Pacific Beach Planning Group member Scott Chipman has proposed an idea named the Mission Bay Gateway Project. Part of the gateway's proposal is to move Campland On The Bay to the De Anza Cove site, once the campground’s lease expires next

year, and then turn Campland’s present site into marshlands. The gateway idea has gained traction within the community. “We’re starting with a brand new slate,” said Pacific Beach Planning Group chair Brian Curry. “Our plan is to bring together all the interested parties such as the San Diego Audubon Society, Campland On The Bay, City Planning, Mission Bay Park, Pacific Beach Town Council and get everyone together in order to collaborate on what we can put at the De Anza site.” Curry’s main concern, though, is that the process might be too long and could slow down any momentum for the interested parties. “We have an active group of volunteers right now with an infrastructure

already in place,” Curry said. Another proposal for that land is to build a high-rise hotel similar to the Hilton in Mission Bay. But the current height restriction for buildings in Mission Bay is 30 feet, and according to Bell, the height restrictions on the property will remain. The history of the De Anza mobile home site goes back to 2003, when its lease had expired, but the residents had filed a class action lawsuit that November against the city to prevent them from being moved off that land. Litigation had kept both the residents and city in limbo until early 2014, when the lawsuit had been resolved. De Anza had 509 mobile homes at its park, and just over half of its occupancy remains.

place for dealing with noise complaints but that the main priority is community safety and curbing violent crime. “We've got to take care of that first and foremost, and we do get to the noise calls eventually. Whenever there is a burglary in progress or a shooting and stabbing, we have to send officers there first,” said Hara. “There is a priority system, and that's why you sense frustration from the community. When they call the police for a noise complaint, we are able to get to them. It's just a matter of when.” PBPG member Baylor Triplett said that he could not support a blanket ban on vacation rentals in an RS zone. He further stated that there are a lot of exceptions for why it is good to rent out in certain cases. “I agree that something should be done about people who make too much noise,” Triplett said. “I have trouble voting for anything that restricts people’s freedoms, and in this case, we are restricting what somebody can do with their own property.” Andrew Melton, a resident of Pacific Beach for the past six years, said that a more appropriate thing to discuss is how to dissuade the bad apples that ruin things for the rest, instead of cutting out all of the apples. “If you ask most of the people who are opposed to short-term rentals whether or not they want real estate prices to go down in their neighborhood, local establishments losing business and neighbors losing retirement income – they would say no,” Melton said. “There are all of these people that have been here for years, and they want to keep things as they were, but there is no going backwards.”

change our schools, and when that happens we've got Venice Beach.” Other proponents of the measure complained that the increased noise, traffic, reduced affordable housing stock and drain on public services are ruining the character of the area. They added that the unlicensed and uninspected rentals, which in many cases fail to pay the required transient occupancy tax (TOT) and tourism marketing district assessment (TMD), have an unfair advantage over licensed establishments. Those opposed to restricting short-term vacation rentals countered that it’s a small group of irresponsible owners who are ruining it for the rest. Several speakers pointed out that vacationers help generate money for the community, support neighborhood businesses, provide income for homeowners and investors and boost real estate prices. After 90 minutes of public comments, the PBPG voted to ask the City Council to modify the San Diego Municipal Code so that homes used for short-term rentals require a conditional use permit, which allows a municipality to control certain uses of property that is not allowed under existing zoning ordinances. Furthermore, the planning group wants to restrict the rental of single-family homes in RS (residential – single unit) zones for less than 30 days, with a 60-day maximum per year for owners who live in their dwelling and declare it as their primary residence. The group is also asking that noise and disturbance violations be reported to the police investigative

Since the rules remain confusing for now, Lisa Halverstadt, from Voice of San Diego, asked officials what Airbnb hosts who want to follow the law, need to do. Here’s what they said. Pay those bed taxes Hoteliers and traditional bed and breakfast hosts add a roughly 11 percent bed tax charge to every hotel bill. The city says vacation rental hosts need to do the same. This isn’t so simple for Airbnb hosts. The website doesn’t let them collect taxes directly, meaning hosts would need to raise their prices to cover the cost. Pay business taxes City rules say hosts need to pay a business tax of at least $50 per property, plus $5 per room that’s rented out. Hosts can pay this annual bill online, in person or via snail mail. Check the zoning rules This is where things get complicated. Airbnb and other vacation rental options come in three general categories: full home or condo rentals, single or multiple room offerings and shared rooms. Most San Diego Airbnb hosts are renting out entire homes, according to data from Airbnb service app Beyond Pricing. -Lisa Halverstadt

Following that, another call will be placed within 30 minutes to the complainant by the PISO to explain what was done. If the noise and disturbance continues, the PISO will dispatch an officer on the highest priority basis possible.

Pacific Beach woman named a finalist for San Diego Woman of the Year honor By DAVE SCHWAB A Pacific Beach woman was among three finalists named for San Diego Woman of the Year honors by Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins. Laura Mustari of Pacific Beach, CEO of Home Start, a 35-year-old organization dedicated to ensuring the well-being of children while focusing on child-abuse treatment in San Diego County, was a runnerup to the eventual winner, Betty Peabody of Point Loma. Peabody is known for her longtime, high-profile volunteerism benefiting Balboa Park. Also in the mix for Woman of the Year was Dr. Rommie Amaro of La Jolla, who’s received the nation’s highest honor for young scientists and engineers. In 2011, she was selected by President Obama for the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists & Engineers. The trio from San Diego beach areas will be recognized in a formal ceremony by the state legislature soon in Sacramento. “We look forward to recognizing extraordinary women from our communities during our annual Woman of the Year ceremony in

Sacramento,” said Atkins. All three women were nominated for the speaker’s Women of the Year project for Women’s History Month in March. “Our mission is focused on preventing child abuse and neglect and strengthening at-risk families,” said Pacific Beach’s Mustari of her work. She added, “We have a vision that every single child in San Diego should live in a safe and nurturing home supported by a healthy family and community.” Mustari was “surprised, humbled and very excited” to have been in the running for Woman of the Year honors.

Noting “Parenting is one of the most important jobs that we get the least amount of training and support for,” Mustari said her career goal has been to provide prevention education aimed at “lowering childabuse rates.” “The real heroes are these (atrisk) families,” Mustari said, adding high-risk groups like (unplanned) pregnant women ages 18 to 24 and homeless women are being targeted for priority treatment. “We want to make a difference with this particular population,” she said. “If we can intervene early on offering wrap-around support services and teach skills building parenting, we can stop the cycle of child abuse and neglect and really help these young women change their lives. We want to provide them with everything they need to be independent.” With more than 25 years’ experience in the nonprofit sector, Mustari was a key member of the steering committee that helped launch a new youth housing project. She also served as the first female president of the San Diego Human Dignity Foundation’s (SDHDF) board of directors.

PB Alehouse should reopen by summer Restaurant group moves some employees to other eateries By DAVE SCHWAB Pacific Beach Alehouse is closed for repairs the next several weeks in the aftermath of a fire that caused an estimated $1 million damage to the restaurant-bar Feb. 16. “It was a grease fire, and we’re closed, still assessing the damages,” said Johnny Leal, Alehouse spokesman. “Our goal is to reopen in 60 to 90 days for summer.” Leal added most of the damage was in the restaurant’s kitchen and restroom, noting, “We’re going to be upgrading while we’re at it.” “It’s our number one location,” he said of the Alehouse, adding, “There’s been a lot of great support from the community.” Thanks to the generosity of its owners, many of the establishment’s employees have temporary jobs elsewhere at restaurants in the chain, OMG Hospitality Group, which also owns Union Kitchen and Tap with locations in Encinitas and downtown’s Gaslamp Quarter. Referring to the welfare of PB Alehouse’s 80-plus employees, Leal said, “Situations like this, all you can do is the best you can for them. Obviously, we can’t take everyone.

Honors: Taco Surf’s breakfast burrito named in the top 10 at DiscoverSD.com; USA Today’s Travel section recognized Taco Surf as the place to go for burritos in PB; The Daily Meal named Taco Surf’s carne asada burrito one of the best in the United States.

“We try to keep our prices as low as possible,” said Cindy. “You can come in here and pay $3.50 and be full.” Comparing Taco Surf ’s menu 25 years ago and today, it’s surprising how little things have changed.

blaze in about 25 minutes. San Diego Fire-Rescue Department spokesman Lee Swanson said about 120 people were inside when the fire broke out, and management evacuated the packed building. Firefighters initially asked for more crews to help with the blaze in case evacuations were needed but later canceled the request. The fire started in the kitchen and traveled up a stove vent into the attic, Swanson said. “We’re getting really excited about reopening and getting our new restaurant off the ground and their feet under them,” Leal said.

Their original menu was smaller, almost postcard-size, and simpler. A lot has been added, noted Cindy, in terms of offerings — more fish items, soups, salads and bowls, plus Cindy’s patented build-your-own burrito. Talking about what’s been fun about Taco Surf, Cindy said they sometimes have celebrities, like NFL Pittsburgh Steelers star Troy Palamalu, come in. But personally, Cindy said she likes making connections with customers the best. “You really get to know them, and they know all about you and what’s going on in your family,” she said. Though times — and the landscape — of PB have changed greatly over the last 25 years, Cindy noted those changes have been “pretty positive.” “I think this town’s really going in a good direction,” she said, adding, “There are really good people here. They take care of their town. The tourists love it.” The Mclartys’ three children are all working elsewhere now. One son is a chef over at The Fishery on Cass Street. Cindy said they’ve expressed interest in one day taking over the business, adding that perhaps might be in the family’s future. READ MORE ONLINE AT: www.sdnews.com

ute act, Karma Police. There are separate admissions for each event, but if anything shows the healthy diversity of the local music community, its nights like this. Blues fans have much reason to rejoice these days. Clubs are full of such bands, festivals from Gator by the Bay to the Adams Avenue Street Fair spotlight the music and, best of all new artists are emerging as major forces in local music. Appearing at Humphrey’s Backstage Live on March 17, singer Missy Anderson is such a talent. Adding a touch of gospel to her blues, Anderson’s soulful vocals are perfectly matched to guitarist Heine Andersen’s fluid fretwork for performances that are intense and inspired. While the blues standards are interesting enough, her recastings of such tunes as the Beatles’ “Come Together” are excellent and well worth hearing. One of the most gifted and prolific writers to emerge from the 20th century, it’s no wonder there are tribute bands devoted to Elvis Costello. Indeed, it’s surprising there aren’t more. One of the best in the U.S., the Distractions, is based in San Diego. Performing at Tio Leo’s on March

20, the group is led by Ariel Levine. A noted singer-songwriter in his own right, he doesn’t just nail the voice and look, he also somehow manages to channel a bit of Costello’s early manic energy. The Distractions perform a full range of Costello’s tunes, from “Pump It Up” through to “Every Day I Write the Book,” for a show that will please fans of Costello or ’80s rock in general.

fic,” Martin said. “They said we’re going to have to do something to slow down traffic by reworking that intersection on both sides (ends) by putting in roundabouts or stop signs.” Ultimately, Martin said what gardeners would like to see is every community space available be converted from lean to green. “Residents along the streets who’ve created their own cactus gardens, we’re not interested in tearing those up,” said Martin. “But in the middle of our medians, some of which are pretty barren, gardening is what we’d like to do. Unfortunately, it’s a slow effort.” Martin said the next step in the cityapproval process for setting up a new PB community garden is to “get signatures to support it.” “We have 20 now and we needed 10,” he said of the garden project’s status. Ferracco said her open-ended gardening request has already borne fruit. “A PB neighbor has offered half of his backyard for a community garden,” she said. "We are so grateful. He had more back yard than he could manage, and he has welcomed eight of us to garden the unused section.” Ferracco added the soil in the new gardening spot, with the help of an arborist, is being prepared pruning trees and clearing weeds with an eye toward planting by late April. “We assumed all the costs for building the garden,” Ferracco said. “We'll pay our portion of the water.”

Bates Navarra. On Monday, March 9, a couple gardeners who were working on their plots, and who did not want to be named, said they were told the property would be sold as early as June, but “we’ll see if it goes through.” “I have been reaching out to likely landowners, asking for space to develop gardens,” Ferraco said of her garden quest. Noting a couple of local landowners have offered small side yards or pedestrian strips, Ferracco noted, “A real find is one that would accommodate 20 to 30 gardeners. I still look, call, knock on doors. I am hopeful.” Ocean Beach Community Garden in Loma Portal is accepting a few of the displaced Pacific Beach Community Planning Group members’ gardens. “Wonderful news for those lucky gardeners,” Ferracco said. The PBCG with 55 cultivated plots has bloomed largely under the radar at Shasta and Roosevelt in Crown Point. Nearby residents, who didn’t have room to garden at their own homes, waited two years or longer for a chance to till the soil there. The garden’s vegetables, which have included tomatoes, squash, zucchini, beans, peppers and chard, have been its biggest crops. Flowers have also shared many of the 15-foot-by-20-foot and halfsize plots. Garden enthusiasts have been banding together for months, even before the bad news about losing PBCG, under the auspices of PBDIGS with a website of the same name. Grassroots group spokesman Andrew Martin has been involved in a related effort to obtain city approval for a prospective community garden/beautification in the Pacific Beach Drive median between Jewell and Kendall streets. But, he admitted, it’s a time-consuming effort. “We’ve been trying to start a garden there, but the city’s raised some concerns about safety with that because of the trafPOOL CARE
